Professor messed up on blackboard with my grade?
So I received an 84.5/94 on my exam. Not bad at all, but my professor put in a 94.5/94 on blackboard. My question is, is it possible the professor will notice when she calculates the final grade? Will she be able to find out because the grade is over 100? The thing is, she handed back the actual exam and the scantron. So if I go to her and tell her the grade is wrong, I don't think she will have any way to verify the grade. So do I just let it go and take the extra points?
College professor messed up my grade, how should I go about this?
You asked her to make sure your grade was right. She has double-checked her records. You probably aren't going to get much else done until you return to school, at which point you can go to her office hours. If you had proof that your grade was miscalculated, it might be worth filing a grade appeal, but it doesn't sound as if you have your graded exams *or* any evidence that your midterm grades used to be different. And even if you did, it doesn't sound as if you understood the explanation of how grades are calculated that was probably on your syllabus. This really sounds more like an issue of you not understanding the online gradebook (and possibly the online gradebook being problematic -- not all of them will actually calculate certain grading formulae) than an issue of some mistake being made, much less an issue of her deliberately marking you down, which is what you appear to be suggesting (and which is *extremely* unlikely, because the professor looks better if her students do well). That doesn't mean that it's impossible that you're right, but it's going to make it hard for you to convince anyone of that fact without proof. Double-check the deadline for grade appeals, which should be in your student handbook. If the deadline is coming up soon, it may be worth going to the department chair. But the first thing the department chair is going to do is go to the faculty member and say, "This student said you made a mistake in grading. Did you?" and the faculty member is going to say, "No, I didn't. And I already told the student that," and the department chair is going to go back to you and say, "It appears that the recorded grade is correct." All you would be doing is preserving the right to appeal, while earning a reputation as a complainer in that department. So you should be *very* sure that you are right, and that at some point you will be able to prove that you are right, before doing this. If you don't have records of your grades and she does, everyone will presume that her records are correct.
How do I tell if my professor has a crush on me?
Ahhhhh...er....fly, don't walk away from this one, sis. Aside from the potential for ruining his career, another more philosophical note: he's at exactly the right age to be vulnerable to new bright eyes and a young bod. You're old enuf to know better, right? If he's a good professor, leave it at that and leave it alone...harmless can become harmful when it segues into little coffee dates and longggg office visits, and then his vulnerability and your [pardon me for this one, sis] female victor's sense of power will mess up absolutely everything for everyone. Don't count on "nothing would come out of it" being cast in bronze...little huggy-poos can turn into career-destroying clinches in a heartbeat. And on a more cynical note...with criminal justice as a major, being known as "oh her, wasn't she the one who got Professor Whatsit in deep doo-doo?" won't do your future career any good...that kind of stuff travels with you to your first job. Don't get famous for being famous!
My Professor is picking on me. What should I do?
By my count you've been in class 5 times and you've screwed up 4 of those - and you're wondering why you're on their radar............................ Day 1: You're in big boy school now - you don't get to do "make-up" assignments, and you don't ask for them either. Day 2: You're in big boy school now - you don't show up late and you don't leave early, and definitely don't do both. Day 4: You're in big boy school now - so "technical mishaps" are not tolerated, and won't be overlooked, especially those that are of your own doing. Day 5: You're in big boy school now - you don't confront your professors about an assignment, especially ones you should have known you screwed up because of your own "technical mishaps." Grow up and start behaving like an adult, and that you're actually a serious and mature college student, or stop fooling yourself and wasting your professor's time.
Do professors usually curve grades?
So I just finished the work for my sociology class- a little background, I kinda messed up this year. I missed my midterm. It was a terrible mistake and honestly I was dumb. But I maintained B s and A s on all my other assignments, and I m still only going to end the year with a 77 (calculated by me, based off of my grade points). Do you think my professor will round to 80? I really hope so because even a low B is good for me.
I have a crush on my professor--what to do?
It will be unethical for him to date you or even talk to you about those things otherthan school related activities. If you did ask him out after the course has ended, he would reject you if he knows anything about code of conduct. I know you are thinking that this situation is an adult one but by you being a student and he is an employee of the university and someone else know about it and report to the professor's dean then he might not have a job. I know how you feel, but think about this. I told my professor at the end of my course which had the same characteristics that "he need to stop being so cute because it was distracting the females in the classroom" in a funny way and he just laughed and gave no other response. Also, I think he is "gay" and I probably would not have had a chance in this lifetime. Good luck and happy Thanksgiving
What does God say about reporting harassment? My professor said messed up things to me (which I recorded). I was planning on releasing the recording, which might get her fired.
God says absolutely nothing about reporting harassment. If you feel that you are being harassed, report it to an appropriate authority!Here’s a saying that may be helpful:“God helps those who help themelves”
What can I do if my professor has lost an assignment that I am 100% I turned in?
You should always have saved a copy of every assignment - teachers can lose assignments. Every teacher should have a policy about this and every student should have a saved copy to hand in when told they never did - past that there's nothing to do that saves this situation.
I messed up and I'm scared to talk to my prof about it?
If you're able to withdrawal, perhaps consider doing so for that particular class. A 'zero' can bring one's score down to a large degree especially if it's for a midterm grade. Perhaps just ask to talk with your professor and mention that you've been dealing with some issues lately and had gotten distracted. If you are going to withdrawal, you would most likely need to ask the professor to sign a certain form from the office anyway.
How can I ask my professor to accept a late assignment (due to possibly extenuating circumstances)?
Meet the professor and explain the situation as early as possible; this will show the professor that you are concerned about the issue and willing to take the necessary steps to rectify it.Be brief and precise; in explaining what might have caused you not to meet a particular deadline, be brief and precise to avoid confusion and miscommunication.Acknowledge your mistake; it is important to humble yourself and admit that you made a mistake. Taking personal responsibility for your mistakes shows the professor that you are mature to own up to your mistake.If granted an extension, turn in quality work; as you had more time to work on your assignment than the other students, it expected that you will use your extra time to put some more effort into the assignment.If penalized, do be offended; there might be a stipulated way of punishing students who submit their work late. If you are a victim, don’t be upset with the professor for adhering to the guidelines of grading.Don’t be late again and show your effort through subsequent assignments; it is important to assure your professor that you will not be late, and the best way would be by always submitting your subsequent assignments on time.Therefore, if at all you find yourself in a scenario where you might not meet a deadline and require an extension, remember to seek out your professor for a way forward. Above all, remember to use the above tips for a smooth relationship with the professor.
